Patient’s Voice 2025: 3rd International Conference

About the Conference 

Patient’s Voice 2025 marks the third international conference focused on advancing the inclusion of patient voices in health and social care education. Building on the momentum of the 2015 Vancouver Statement, this year’s conference will explore progress made over the past decade and highlight innovations, practices, and theories that center lived experience in the education of current and future professionals. 

Over three days, the conference will showcase collaborations between educators and patient or community groups that bring authentic, autonomous patient voices into curricula and training. Participants will engage with examples of meaningful involvement that enrich learning and support more responsive, person-centered care.
